This Saturday: Plant native trees and shrubs at beautiful King City Park!
Friends of Trees is excited to return to King City Park this Saturday, December 19th and is looking for volunteers to join the fun!
If you are not familiar with King City, you are not alone–the city is just shy of its 50th year of being a city and many people have only recently started to hear about this neat little city! Incorporated in 1966 and established at the edge of the Urban Growth Boundary, King City is a growing community with quick access to nurseries and wineries while being just a little over thirty minutes from downtown Portland.
Our December 19th event is the first of two plantings in King City Park this season. These plantings are a continuation of the already-successful Tree For All campaign which strives to plant native trees, shrubs, and plants that will create improved flood management, provide cooler, cleaner water, and introduce new habitats for fish and wildlife in the tualatin River Watershed.
We encourage you to come check out King City and join Clean Water Services, Friends of Trees, and King City partners to be a part of this important environmental project! No experience needed. Feel free to bring friends and family — the more the merrier!
Where: 17470 SW Montague Way, King City, OR 97224 (map)
